CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS IN RESEARCH ON TREATING INSOMNIA - 10 Free Brainspotting Sessions!

👉🏼 (3 spots left- sharing for a colleague!)

😫😴😫😴😫😴😫

Are you struggling with insomnia?
You may be eligible to participate in a research study exploring an innovative therapy approach called Brainspotting.

My name is Nidhi Kirpalani, Clinical and Counselling Psychologist and Doctoral Student at the International University for Graduate Studies (IUGS). I am conducting a research study to investigate whether Brainspotting therapy is effective in reducing symptoms of insomnia in adults.

I am currently recruiting 10 adult participants who have experienced symptoms of insomnia for at least the past month. Participation includes 10 free Brainspotting therapy sessions, conducted either online via Zoom or in person.

What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a neuro-experiential, brain-body therapy that uses eye position to help individuals access, process, and release unresolved trauma and emotional stress stored in the nervous system. By focusing on specific “brainspots” while maintaining mindful awareness of the body, this method supports deep regulation and healing.

What’s Involved?
- A screening interview to confirm eligibility
- Completion of pre- and post-treatment questionnaires
- Participation in 10 one-on-one Brainspotting therapy sessions targeting symptoms of insomnia
- Sessions may be held virtually or in person, depending on your location

Eligibility Criteria:
- Adults 18 years or older
- Experiencing insomnia symptoms for at least one month
- English speaking

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants are not eligible if they:
Are on medication that might affect sleep (e.g. anti-depressants)
Work night shifts or rotating shift schedules, are on-call or have other duties that require them to be awake often at night
Are currently taking medication specifically prescribed for sleep or a CPAP machine
Are caring for an infant under 1 year of age and frequently waking to feed
Are experiencing insomnia primarily due to menopause-related symptoms (e.g., hot flashes)
Have substance-induced insomnia
Participation information:
- Voluntary and confidential
- No cost to participate
- Approved by the University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB)
- You may withdraw from the study at any time
